The Israeli defence minister has threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent a humanitarian ship carrying climate campaigner Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza. -- well that sounds like a remarkably stupid move on his part.

I geniunely wonder what people think martial law looks like. It looks like troops in the streets exercising control over the population and suspending civil liberties with force. Why do people throw these words around like that is some imminent threat and not what's already happening?

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

OK, I know more about the CA case and we have more information on the deployments coming out, so a few thoughts. 1. This is a massive overreach of POTUS authority. Using Section 12406 to federalize/deploy military forces w/out also invoking the Insurrection Act is literally unprecedented. 1/

58 years ago today, Israel wasn't just slaughtering Palestinians. It was slaughtering 34 US servicemen, and wounding another 171, on the USS Liberty in the Med. Washington has spent decades covering up that atrocity – just like it's covering up the current genocide in Gaza.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

One of our core principles is to not deploy the Marines domestically to carry out law enforcement functions. They aren’t trained for that and aren’t there for that. Since the founding of the Republic. But this toady will never go against Trump on anything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The twelve aboard the Madleen Freedom Flottilla are absolutely heroes. And we cannot displace our own complicity onto them. While we follow their brave journey, let their heroism inspire us all to be creative, be defiant and keep finding ways and acting to break the siege and end Zionism.

One arrest linked to the unrest caused by ICE's heavy handed tactics and Trump is calling in the National Guard. This could go sideways in 1001 different ways very, very quickly. The President of the United States seems determined to escalate and inflame the situation.
